“The partnership names Butterfield and Mastercard as the Official Payment Partner of the Apex Group Bermuda Sail Grand Prix and Butterfield as an Official Partner of the event.

Ben Johnson, SailGP Chief Revenue Officer, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Butterfield and Mastercard as partners for our Bermuda event. Both brands share SailGP’s commitment to delivering world-class experiences, and their expertise in financial services will play an important role in enhancing how fans engage with our event, both on-site and beyond.”

The spokesperson said, “A key highlight of the collaboration is the exclusive 20 percent discount available at the Race Stadium fan store for guests who make purchases using their Butterfield Mastercard card throughout the event weekend.

“Beyond branding and merch discounts, the partnership reinforces SailGP’s commitment to working with leading global and local organizations to deliver unforgettable fan experiences at iconic destinations around the world.

“Racing in Bermuda will take place close to shore, giving fans a rare chance to experience the intensity of SailGP from just meters away, as international teams compete in identical high-tech F50 catamarans at speeds approaching 100 km/h.
